[TF2] Auto Nav File generator
 
2 Attachment(s)
Short Description
This will automatically generate a .Nav file for your maps.
It will generate the .nav file when the server has loaded a new map.

It will not generate a .nav file if you already have one for the specified map.

Cvar(s)
nav_enable 1 = Enable the plugin
nav_enable 0 = Disable the plugin

Is it better to download map in your own game and generate there ?
Then upload file to server (and fastdownloadurl if it's annoying try download everytime when join server).

When game generate automatically nav file, it could take few seconds or worst, hour.

Me personally don't find this very necessarily because nowadays, maps (.bsp files) have the navigation files implemented inside of them. This deletes the need to have to download the files separate, usually in my past experiences of map making, speeding up download times. I mean the speed differences are minimal, but when you have many custom sounds, materials, etc... implementing them into one file makes it much cleaner and faster to do.

Overall I do like the idea, however "I" won't use it, but that is just me :)

They do? Since when?

Last time I checked, even Valve's own maps ship with separate .nav files for the game modes that support bots (koth, pl, and a few a/d cp maps):
Code:
rugc@ocrtf2:~/orangebox/tf/maps$ ls -1 *.nav
cp_dustbowl.nav
cp_gorge.nav
cp_manor_event.nav
koth_badlands.nav
koth_lakeside_final.nav
koth_nucleus.nav
koth_sawmill.nav
koth_viaduct_event.nav
koth_viaduct.nav
pl_badwater.nav
pl_barnblitz.nav
pl_goldrush.nav
pl_hoodoo_final.nav
pl_thundermountain.nav
pl_upward.nav
tr_dustbowl.nav
tr_target.nav

I mean custom maps created by people. I don't know, I don't seem to see many separate downloads anymore.

Like I said though, I do like the idea, but I for one wont use it because I'm a fan of combining all custom files into one. (Just seems cleaner to me)

a. Post in SourceMod Plugins, not SRCDS
b. Don't attach an smx if it compiles on the forums.
c. Doesn't seem very useful imho…

I just made this so you don't have to generate them manually for all your maps if you are using bots on your server. This might be more useful for some user than others.

I think it is better to generate them on your server because if you download the maps and generate them in a local game your computer might get some lag spikes or might be unusable during the time.
I am sorry if I misunderstood you question...

Re: [TF2] Auto Nav File generator
 
It's probably better to generate navs on your own client so you don't lock up the entire server for the duration of the nav generation.

Also, Reflex, if you're recompiling maps and making them use the same file name as the original map, I will be VERY disappointed.

And it's probably better to keep the nav files separate so they can be updated quickly.

Somebody move this thread to SM Plugins?
